OPTIMUS PRIME: "Before time began, there was the cube. We know not where it comes from, only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life. That is how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony. But like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil. And so began the war. A war that ravaged our world and many others, until they were consumed by death, and the cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find it and rebuild our home. Searching every star, every world. And just when all hope seemed lost, message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet called... Earth. But we were already too late.... "
TRANSFORMERS 2007
CHAPTER 1: The Attack.
A soldier in an army uniform sits between other soldiers. They sit patiently on the military transport, on their way to an airbase. The one soldier wears a Captains uniform with the nametag showing the soldiers name. 'LENNOX.' Lennox listens to the sound of the transport landing on the tarmac. Knowing he would soon depart the transport, he takes one last look at a photo he's been holding onto the whole ride. The photo is of him, his wife, and his newborn child. He wonders if he should have taken his wife's advice, and joined his father-in-laws plumbing business. At the time, he chose to enlist believing he was helping the world. He stopped believing that on his last tour. Sure if he had become a plumber it would have been minimum wage, next to no benefits. But at least then he'd actually help people. What if....
Out in the desert, several military aircraft return to the base. But one of the incoming aircrafts, is an uninvited guest. A lone MH-53 Helicopter, with the designation 4500X. Back at the base, a COLONEL sits in the operations bunker. Then he gets a call from a soldier in the bunker. He approaches the soldier and looks at the soldiers computer screen, which shows the lone helicopter.
COLONEL:" What have we got? "
SOLDIER: "Rogue MH-53, designation 4500X. But my reports say 4500X was shot down last month. "
COLONEL:"Check again and recheck."
Another soldier, next to them rises and answers.
SOLDIER 2:"Sir, I can confirm that information. "
COLONEL:" Soldier?"
SOLDIER 2:"A friend of mine was on that chopper sir."
Down in the barracks, Captain Lennox video calls his wife.
LENNOX:"Have you gotten the results?"
His wife has the face of disappointment.
WIFE:"Yes."
Lennox heart begins to drop in fear of the results.
WIFE:"They were negative!"
She smiles. Lennox exhales a huge sigh of relief, then laughs.
LENNOX:"I was about to faint. And that would have been your fault."
WIFE:"Wouldn't have wanted that to happen. Then everyone would know that you're the fainter and not me."
LENNOX:"The guys wouldn't let me rest for a month, if that happened."
WIFE:"Please, I know Robert. He wouldn't let you rest for years."
LENNOX:"(chuckles) Quiet. He's going to overhear."
WIFE:"Robert! Will faints alot!"
Lennox begins lowering the volume.
LENNOX:"I'm just going to lower this volume."
Then the speakers by the door begin talking.
SPEAKER: "Intruder vehicle on the tarmac. Neccessary teams report for duty. All others await in security zones until specified otherwise. "
The rogue helicopter lands on the tarmac. It is quickly surrounded by military Humvees and soldiers. Inside the helicopter, the radio broadcasts the COLONELs message.
COLONEL: "MH-53 pilot shut down and step out now, or we will open fire. "
Despite the warning, nobody steps out. The soldiers surrounding the vehicle can see a figure sitting in the pilot seat. A group of four soldiers are ordered to arrest the intruder. They four soldiers approach the intruder. The lead soldier opens the door, while his fellow soldiers aim their guns. The door swings open and the swarm in. They only find one intruder, the pilot. They notice little to no movement from him.
SOLDIER: "Discovered one intruder. Beginning arrest."
As the soldier approaches, he sees something that will confuse him for the rest of his life. The pilot glitches in and out of existence.
SOLDIER: "What the.... "
The helicopter begins transforming. Shifting its massive pieces of metal around a humanoid body. Every gun surrounding the intruder opens fire. The Colonel looks out onto the tarmac and watches with wide eyes and an open mouth.
COLONEL: "My god. "
The intruder activates some sort of heavy machine gun on his arm and attacks the soldiers. Soon the soldiers and Humvees are overwhelmed and wiped out. The intruder focuses on the operations center and makes it's way to the building. The Colonel watches the intruder approaching and immediately gets on the nearest radio. He calls for full attack. The roof of the center is ripped off by the intruder, alerting the Colonel to his presence. The Colonel and the intruder lock eyes. The intruder then looks at the servers behind the Colonel, which the Colonel notices. The intruder begins reaching into the bunker, until being hit by a couple of missiles. It looks at its attacker, a military helicopter. The intruder tries to shoot down its attacker, until another missile hits it. The missiles coming from another helicopter. The intruder has a hard time defending itself from the two attack helicopters and begins to tumble backwards.
Back in the barracks, Lennox and other soldiers wait for further instructions. All they hear is loud explosions and gunfire. The radio is going crazy with information. Something about a walking helicopter with a scary face. Lennox and the others play rock, paper, scissors. One of of the soldiers loses and heads out at punishment. He heads down the hallway and passes running soldiers.
SOLDIER: "Hey! What's going on? "
They run past him, without answers. He continues on and approaches the doors to the outside. He's breathing heavily, and locks grip on his rifle. He opens the door and sees the two helicopters attacking the giant robot helicopter.
SOLDIER:" What the F...."
He's pulled back in by Lennox and the others. Meanwhile the attack helicopters pin down the intruder and attack it, as ordered. One of the pilots fires, communicating with the other pilot. Then the radio goes silent. The pilot turns and no longer sees the other helicopter. Then something comes over the radio.
COLONEL:"Second intruder!"
The pilot quickly turns the other way and sees a missile heading for it. The missile hits the helicopter, making the pilot and the helicopter crash down onto the tarmac. The Colonel and the first intruder look out onto the second intruder. A VTOL fighter jet. The Helicopter intruder appears to say something to the VTOL intruder, in a strange alien language.
HELICOPTER INTRUDER: "@÷!="& /&÷ @÷=:÷=."
The VTOL intruder flies back to the operations bunker and transforms as well, landing right on top of the bunker. This intruder is much more slender than the Helicopter intruder. The VTOL intruder grabs the server and collects data from it, creating sparks and flashing lights.
COLONEL:"They're going after the files! Shut it down!"
SOLDIER:"I need a key its locked."
The Colonel grabs an axe and tosses it to the soldier on the other side of the room. The solder begins hacking at the servers power. The Helicopter intruder has begun attacking the remaining base focusing on aircrafts and tanks. It activates a sort of pulse weapon and blows the line of tanks away. It notices a group of humans running toward a large building. It rips the roof of the building and is greeted by many soldiers aiming rocket launchers at the intruder.
LENNOX:"Open fire!"
All the soldiers open fire on the intruder. It turns away to block the attackers, but the attacks make it angrier. It swings back and aims it's pulse weapon at the soldiers. The soldiers look up in fear. THE Helicopter intruder prepares to fire, until the VTOL intruder grabs it's pulse weapon and appears to stop the helicopter intruder from killing the soldiers.
VTOL INTRUDER:",[ <,,÷"÷@@!=_ #÷!/&."
HELICOPTER INTRUDER:"_[< (,[× /&÷ [=#÷=@."
The Vtol intruder let's the other's arm free, with hesitation.
HELICOPTER INTRUDER:"!,# %[[# @[)#>÷=@ $[))[× [=#÷=@."
The helicopter intruder proceeds to aim its weapon at the soldiers, and fires.
